Actually put new pump in so not the issue.

However, after running it a bit, I'm now not so sure there is a reduced flow. It's hard to tell (the meter that came with the pool has long since gone to its reward) but the suction works and inlets seem to be running fine. Perhaps I'm just a bit paranoid after the old pump bit the dust. I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens.

Thanks for responding.
